I oscillate between contempt and pity
for the simple little people
And who would call
faculty members,
million dollar movie stars,
presidents of nations, and
kings of countries
"Simple little people"
Psychologists may say that
the contempt and pity I feel is for myself
but unknowingly transferred to my environment;
I don't think it's true;
It's not transferred but a part of my environment.
I will admit there may be some lurking unconscious
that directs my thoughts and control my actions.
But they will have a hell of a time
convincing me that what I think
is not really what I think.
Because what I think is all
I have to work with,
not what I am told to think
If you get people to believe when you tell them
what the you are thinking,
the power of the world is yours.
If you to know what they are thinking
the power of the gods is yours.
If you can get yourself to know what you're thinking
the power of the heavens that the gods live in
is yours
